The captain did not die under the desperate protection of several guards, but a huge cut in his back was cut by a saber, bright red blood, and large strands came out, and the guards couldn't stop the bleeding.

What's more, because of the large number of guards around him, the captain became the main target of the cavalry company's assault.

When the cavalry swept away the leaves in the autumn wind, there were few surviving guards left, and there were corpses everywhere, and the residual value was broken, which was very bloody!

"Captain, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army is too powerful, and the troops have suffered heavy losses, so they can't stop them at all!" A squad leader ran over with blood on his arm and reported.

"How many of us are left?" The captain asked with a pained look on his face, frowning.

"Less than an infantry squad!" The squad leader replied with a pained expression.

"In front of the cavalry, the bayonets in the hands of the warriors have no effect at all, unless they raise a grenade and die with the cavalry!"

"Baga, there is no position to use here, and there is no forest to hide, these cavalry are all calculated. They want to annihilate us all here, kill us all here! Captain Ninja, who slowly calmed down, scolded in pain.

"Boom!" The roaring sound of horses' hooves resounded on the battlefield again.

The remaining cavalry of the cavalry company raised their sabers and roared to launch a second round of attacks on the Japanese.

"Eight Grids, these cavalry want to kill them all. Since you can't live, let's fight with them. Those who want to retreat scatter and break through, find the brigade commander and tell him everything here. If you don't want to break through, join me in launching a counterattack against the cavalry and kill them with grenades! The captain commanded in a deep voice.

After a tragic battle, all the devils, including the captain, died.

The cavalry company also paid a very heavy price, and more than 30 cavalrymen died in the explosion of the devil's grenade.

Looking at the nearly one-third of his subordinates behind him, Ma Ronghe was very distressed. After all, these people were trained by him.

However, he also knew the fierceness of the cavalry battles and the life and death, since these soldiers chose to join the cavalry company, they were ready to die at any time.

"The troops are now assembled and ready to attack the other devils! Cavalry Company, follow me! Ma Ronghe, whose face was covered with seriousness again, ordered very decisively.

At this time, Ono had already led his troops to the direction of Laiyuan City.

But because of the drag of artillery and baggage troops, the march of the troops was very slow from the beginning.

At this moment, a second lieutenant suddenly rushed over at the front of the team: "Sir, the mountain road in front has been damaged, it must have been just destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and the soil dug up is still new!" ”

"It's okay for the infantry to advance, but the baggage brigade and artillery brigade must wait for the mountain road to be repaired before they can pass!"

"It must have been done by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, they want to slow down our return to Laiyuan City and buy time for them to attack Laiyuan City!" The chief of staff immediately made a judgment.

"Yaga, then what are you waiting for? The squadron of sappers immediately rushed over to repair the road, and the infantry assisted, hurry up! Ono ordered with a frown.

As soon as the second lieutenant left on the front foot, a communications staff officer of the headquarters ran over on the back foot, with a very anxious and panicked expression.

"General, Laiyuan City is in an emergency!"

"A siege force of the Eighth Route Army has entered Laiyuan City, and Captain Watanabe reported that he is organizing troops to fight street battles with the Eighth Route Army entering the city, but it will definitely not last long. Captain Watanabe asks us to speed up our reinforcements and return to Laiyuan City as soon as possible! ”

"Nani? How could it be so fast, what is Watanabe doing to eat, so many troops can't even hold a Laiyuan City! Ono was startled at first, and then scolded with great dissatisfaction.

The chief of staff hurriedly reminded: "General, Laiyuan City must not be lost. Now Laiyuan City is in danger, and we must prepare for the worst. ”

Ono, who also wanted to vent his anger and dissatisfaction by scolding, immediately calmed down.

Then he frowned and began to give orders: "Telegraph Watanabe, abandon the fortifications of the city wall, fight street battles with the Eighth Route Army, and drag the siege troops of the Eighth Route Army." If you really can't hold Laiyuan City, you must blow up the arsenal at the last moment. The weapons and ammunition stored by the empire in Laiyuan City must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army! ”

"Chief of Staff, we will divide our troops immediately, and the infantry will take the first step and march back to Laiyuan City!"

"Baggage brigade, artillery brigade, engineer squadron, follow up!"

"Didn't the troops have a lot of rifles and machine guns, and all of them were left behind to arm artillery and baggage soldiers to prevent accidents!"

"Contact the cavalry brigade outside the mountain, the first brigade, don't concentrate the troops on the mountain pass, and go directly back to Laiyuan City!"

"As for whether the reinforcement troops will be broken by the Eighth Route Army, I can't care so much, even if I lose some imperial troops on the way back, I have to ensure the safety of Laiyuan City!"

When the Japanese began to retreat, Wang Ping followed behind him with three compressed infantry companies, waiting for the fighters to appear.

It didn't take long for a piece of good news to arrive.

"Regiment commander, the reconnaissance unit reports that the devils have divided their troops. Nearly 2,000 Japanese troops and the Imperial Allied Army only carried mortars and heavy machine guns to march back to Laiyuan City, leaving more than 1,400 devils to protect the baggage and artillery in the back while building the road! ”

"The opportunity has finally come, Captain, where are you going to clean them up!" Chief of Staff Zeng Quan's eyes lit up and asked.

Wang Ping was not as happy as he imagined, and analyzed with a frown.

"It's a good opportunity, but you have to be careful. Our independent regiment has already lost nearly 2,000 people in this battle, and they must be eliminated with guaranteed casualties! ”

Zeng Quan's face also became serious.

I heard the fighter just now that I was only happy, and I didn't think about anything else. Now after a serious analysis, Zeng Quan suddenly found that he had overlooked a big problem.

His opponent is not a few hundred devils, but more than 1,400 people. Even if they are all technical troops that don't have much combat effectiveness, they can't compare to the real devil elite. But take up arms, and they are just as combative.

And the independent regiment, even if you add the battalion and two companies hidden in the mountain pass, the total strength is only five companies and less than a thousand people.

Not to mention anything else, the army alone can't compare to the devils, how can this battle be fought?

The disparity in strength was so great that the regiment commander had to destroy the more than 1,000 Japanese troops while ensuring casualties, which was almost impossible in Zeng Quan's opinion.

At this moment, Wang Ping spoke again: "In addition to this requirement, this raid annihilation battle must also meet these conditions. ”

"The speed is fast, the time from the beginning to the end of the battle must be short, and at the very least, the devils must be separated from the artillery and baggage they protect, so as to prevent them from jumping over the wall and blowing up the supplies and artillery!"

"The terrain is good, and the devil can't be allowed to have terrain to rely on to defend. In this case, the raid may turn into a storm, and our casualties will be uncontrollable. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ping's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light.

"There it is!" Then he exclaimed with a look of surprise.
